2. Almost cried!

I grew up with those movies and when the time was right I brought them out for my daughter.
Right around 8th grade Freshman yr. I wanted her to know those feelings and moments are very real and true experienced by a ton of people as evidenced by those movies. She was appreciative if only because her mom could see "where she was" even if we always didn't agree.

6. I think his movies will be even more popular now...

...as is so often the case, we usually don't appreciate genius until it's no longer with us.

I grew up with John's movies and hearing he had died...something inside of me died too. A part of my youth and the realization I'm getting older too. What an amazing story.
